Action Movie Hero Boy
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta figure out where mommy keeps the dynamite.
I’ll get some measuring tape so I can time it right.
I know it’s dangerous, I know you’re thinking I am a fool,
But it’s the only chance I’ll ever get to look so cool. (Look so cool.)
Hey, look at me, casually
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits right behind me.
You see it all the time in theatres on the silver screen,
Like when the good guy blows the bad guy’s house to smithereens.
I’ve got a movie-making camera and a dozen grenades.
I’m looking tough, I’ve got the stuff, I’ve got the spiffy shades. (Spiffy shades.)
Hey, look at me, casually
Walking away like Action Movie Hero Boy
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits right behind me.
I am aware it’s just a movie. I’m aware it’s a cliché.
I am aware I’m being stupid. I’m aware of that, but hey,
This is just something that I gotta do.
Yeah. (Yeah.)
Hey, look at me, casually
Stumbling down like Action Movie Blooper Reels
In slow-mo, everything glowing and
Blowing to bits including me.
The lyrics to Lemon Demon's "Action Movie Hero Boy" depict a childish fantasy of being the cool and heroic protagonist in an action movie.

The lyrics portray the singer's desire to embody the stereotype of an action hero, complete with a cool pair of shades and grenades.
The lyrics suggest the singer's awareness of the absurdity and danger of their actions, but their desire for admiration and self-exaltation overrides any logical hesitation. The character is willing to put themselves in danger to achieve the dream of being an action movie hero, even if it means becoming a blooper reel.
Overall, the lyrics to "Action Movie Hero Boy" are a satirical commentary on the unrealistic expectations of masculinity, heroism, and violence perpetuated by action movies.
